I would like to share the article I’m posting below. It discusses how much sadness and difficulties we create for ourselves because we don’t accept things as they are.

In the article Judith describes the situation of a client of hers who struggled with an unsatisfying relationship with her sister her entire life. The client described to her trying a number of different methods and approaches in order to create some type of relationship. But all her attempts failed because while the client was interested in figuring out how to co-exist and communicate, the sister wasn’t.

As sad as this conclusion is, it is also the truth. We cannot change how others think and feel. Everyone is entitled to their point of view. Now, spending enormous amounts of time trying to change others is our waste of time.
